Fulltime RV Living Adventures

Satellite Television Setup

Everything is supposed to be easy these days right? It isn’t. Apparently… I am still no more a fan of television and the 24-hour stress, speculation, and rubbish programs.  However; having a bit of entertainment while living in the motorhome has become greatly desirable.  Sometimes I read for weeks at a time, other times, I… [Read More]

2013 Cycling Report

2013 is gone and I thought a bit of analysis of my cycling for the year was in order. It was an up and down year – mostly because I place too much pressure on myself.  If I wasn’t riding, I was feeling bad. If I was riding, I was feeling bad that I wasn’t… [Read More]

Jeep Towing – Part 2

Electrical Towing Harness Installation Note from JD: Part 1 of this project is here, part 3 is here. Back here I talked about the Blue Ox base plate installation on my 2010 Jeep Wrangler JK.  As part of that project, I also needed to install a taillight wiring harness to connect to my motorhome.  This… [Read More]

Yucca and Rocks

A very pretty view out my front door.  Yucca plants and massive rocks! Far from the cold and white that much of our wonderful country is seeing right now.  I love the desert and am thankful to be here! Happy New Year!

RV-12 Over New Mexico

This past week I uploaded some more raw flying video footage from my Drift HD camera to my computer and I thought: “Self, you have a lot of good video footage but you have done nothing with it in at least six months. You should be ashamed.” I am ashamed. The problem is that processing… [Read More]

Jeep Towing – Part 1

As I mentioned here, the primary reason that I purchased a 2010 Jeep Wrangler JK for towing  behind my motorhome – my toad.  They are relatively light (compared to many other vehicles) and are easy to tow four wheels down (on the road) by putting the transfer case in neutral which completely disconnects the wheels… [Read More]

Throttle Quadrant and Trim

I have a friend who is building a Thatcher CX-4. He had been working on his elevator trim installation and had put the trim control on the right side of the aircraft and the throttle on the left.  This triggered some thoughts that other builders may find useful so I figured I would document them… [Read More]

Love my Toad

The time for a toad had come. In the RV world, the vehicle being towed behind an RV is called a “toad”.  A great play on words and funny to boot. The trips that I have made to date with the motorhome (Shaneeda) have been without a toad, only my bikes.  During the last couple… [Read More]

Snow

Snow Snow is such a beautiful thing.  We don’t get it here very often, certainly not this early in December so I must marvel at it. Oh wait, that’s not marveling that I’m feeling…  something else.  Need to get in better touch with my feelings!!

Sick!
